GGplot - how to not treat points as outliers?

In the below script, outliers on the boxplot are shown as individual scatter points. Instead, I would like the creation of the boxplot to include these and to not treat these points as outliers. Consequently, the box would be extended to include them.

ggplot(imp,aes(Group,LWG,fill=Group))+geom_boxplot()

As per the below picture, the bottom of the left boxplot would extend downwards further.

That would be inappropriate to extend the boxplot. The main thing about them is to show the quantiles, therefor an extension would make the boxplot statically wrong in its interpretation.

But you can remove the outliers with:

geom_boxplot(outlier.shape = NA)
